Alexithymia As An Autistic Adult

I am unaware when I got this condition, but I've noticed for many years now that I've been feeling less, it could be the depression or the autism. But it also could be due to thisw as well. I personally thought if I stopped showing emotions that I wouldn't be affected by them much, but alas I am not a robot but a human with many conditons. So, I can still feel emotions but some but not all seem to have a lowered effect.


Let's use an example shall we. Say I have lost a loved one, a family member or a beloved pet or any sort of tragic lost. I will still feel sad and forlorn, and I will need to grieve because this is a rather strong emotion. Even with this condition I will need time to sort myself out. Some people it might take longer or a shorter period of time before they are back to their normal routine.


It seems that it is a rather common condition with people on the spectrum, so you won't be the only one who currently has this. I only found out recently about it and I feel like I have it, but it's more a self-diagnosed thing, I need to get it checked, if you believe you have this please talk to a professional about it if you need more insight, because me as a blog writer who knows of its name and some of its symptoms, I can only point you in the right direction.
